I will not be making any adjustments to the set until I get in there to replace lytics and other caps... which won't take place till January as I am leaving for sea Monday... flying to Puerto Rico.

Also, with the CRT being somewhat weak, I do not expect perfection. My B&K 470 showed it to be quite weak. Even after baking the tube for a good while and bringing the meter into the green, it fell back into the red after setting it back to 6 volts. Also checked with a B&K 400... didn't even move the needle on that one. I might possibly try a brightener on it later, but as long as it makes a picture without one, I'd rather leave the brightener off.

I suppose I can keep an eye open for a replacement tube, but I'm sure these 24" b&w tubes don't pop up often.

This baby is bigger than many roundies! I can just imagine being in the presence of one of those 27" or 30" sets!
